Do you (or your employees) lack motivation, perhaps even
feeling physically affected during your workday?
Do you (or your team) sometimes find yourselves on "autopilot"
during work days?
Do you (or your team) experience unproductive increases in stress
during work days, perhaps affecting relationships and physical health?
Are you increasingly doubting yourself:
your worthiness, your capability, and your ability to change
your situation? Do you feel increasingly alone at work,
perhaps even fearful of sharing your concerns?
If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, contrast
your experience to that of an "engaged" team. For those who are engaged, motivation and interest is high and more
consistent, both during and after the workday. (This is from, "Well Being: The Five Essential Elements," by Tom
Rath and Jim Harter, Gallup Press 2010). The key to finding engaging work, for yourself and your team, is to play to strengths, to relearn how to be fully
present, and to trust that, with the help of mentoring, you can transform your team's self-work experience.
